The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) is seeking input on the use of leading indicators in order to develop a resource that shares best practices to improve workplace safety and health. Leading indicators are proactive, preventive measures that can provide insight on the effectiveness of safety and health activities, improve identification/elimination/control of risks, and reduce incidents and injuries. Examples of leading indicators include, number of employees trained in hazard identification, percentage of trainings completed, etc.
AGC of America believes this is a worthwhile effort and an opportunity to impact/improve safety in the construction industry. As such, we will be working with our partners on the Construction Industry Safety Coalition (CISC) to submit comments to OSHA. Please consider contributing to this effort by completing this BRIEF SURVEY.
If you have any questions, please contact Kevin Cannon at kevin.cannon@agc.org or (703) 837-5410.
